Comprehensive ADHD Evaluations in Brooklyn, NY

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting executive functioning, working memory, attention regulation, and impulse control. Whether you are a parent seeking clarity for a child struggling at school, or an adult navigating executive dysfunction in your career or daily life, a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation provides an accurate diagnosis and a clear roadmap forward. 

As a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, I provide expert, individualized ADHD testing in Gowanus, Brooklyn, serving families across Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, and the greater NYC area. 
 

Why Get a Neuropsychological Evaluation for ADHD?

 

Unlike quick online screeners or brief clinical checklists, a full neuropsychological evaluation looks at the whole cognitive profile. Symptoms of ADHD—such as chronic disorganization, brain fog, restlessness, and difficulty focusing—frequently overlap with or mask other conditions like anxiety, depression, learning disabilities (such as dyslexia), or autism spectrum conditions.

​

Benefits of Comprehensive Evaluation:

​

  • Differential Diagnosis: Differentiate true executive function deficits from anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, or sleep disruption.

  • School & Academic Accommodations: Obtain formal documentation required for IEPs, 504 Plans, or standardized test accommodations (SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, and Bar Exam).

  • Workplace Support: Identify executive functioning strengths to request reasonable accommodations under the ADA or develop effective workplace strategies.

  • Targeted Treatment Plans: Provide your psychiatrist, therapist, or physician with actionable data to tailor medication, executive function coaching, or psychotherapy.​

Pediatric & Adolescent ADHD Testing in Brooklyn

​

For children and teens, executive dysfunction often manifests as:

  • Trouble starting or completing homework independently.

  • Frequent losing of belongings, school supplies, or personal items.

  • Teachers reporting day-dreaming, getting out of seats, or impulsive interruptions.

  • High frustration levels during tasks requiring sustained mental effort.

​

Adult ADHD Evaluations: Finding Clarity Later in Life

​

Many adults, especially those who can mask their symptoms well, reach adulthood without an accurate diagnosis. You may have developed coping strategies that worked during school, but find that career demands, parenting, or life transitions overwhelm your executive capacity.

​

Common Signs of Adult ADHD:

  • Chronic procrastination despite high motivation to complete tasks.

  • Difficulty managing time, schedules, or prioritizing daily responsibilities.

  • "Hyperfocus" on high-interest topics alongside severe resistance to routine tasks.

  • Emotional dysregulation, low frustration tolerance, or mental burnout.



A neuropsychological evaluation can help clarify the diagnosis, pinpoint the specific areas of difficulty and provide detailed recommendations for school, work, and home that capitalize on the strengths and help overcome the challenges.
